Almost definitely IMO, but you should listen to season 3 of blowback to get an idea of the Korean War and who was pushing to drop the bomb and who was not. Its important to note that the bomb at that point was undergoing the shift from Atomic fission bombs to Hydrogen thermonuclear bombs.
I know that the politics behind the deployment of nuclear weapons in Korea, but would that be defendable politically without a mobilized public willing to make the use of nuclear weapons taboo?
Name a weapon banned in war that wasn’t deployed in war.
IIRC a lot of the gasses that were used in WW1 were banned before they were even used, or similar gasses to them were outlawed/banned in a wide blanket.
